She mainly saw children with minor injuries & would be able to manage, treat & discharge. I think this role eases off the pressure from other healthcare professionals and the department when busy.

I think the role is a great way for nurses to progress and bridge the gap between themselves and a doctor. Having to undertake another degree of 2-5 years from what I’ve read to start on salary of 37 thousand seems ok I suppose, but then the fact they can discharge patients from the care of A&E is a big responsibility maybe it should warrant more ?

They took a more ‘medical’ role and were involved in doctors rounds, prescriptions and care planning. ANPS work as a Band 7, which I think reflects the works they do as they have a lot more responsibility. ]]> 2020-09-27 21:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/782783854 ENP https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/782861356 As an emergency nurse practitioner some of the clinical responsibilities you must 
independently assess, diagnose, treat and discharge patients with a wide range of minor illnesses and injuries. ENP work within emergency medicine, working at a Band 7. Starting salary of 31 thousand and gradually increases with experience.

They are educated at a masters degree level and qualify as a band 7, starting on around £36,000 annually. They are able to make more autonomous decisions around patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment. I witnessed ANP,s taking part in ward rounds, prescribing medications, carrying out more advanced skill level procedures, such as inserting long lines and carrying bleeps for high risk deliveries.

Makes me agree with Elis and her opinion on them but can do other things such as refer to specialists without a DR. Being able to do things without needing a DR doesn't make them a replacement but extra support. The pay that they receive reflects the levels of extra training that they have done to earn this role through a master's degree. This is a great service for children and their families because it means that during busy hours that family may not have to wait for a dr to bee free to be able to give diagnosis and treatments. https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783646653 Greg M]]> 2020-09-28 07:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783646653 https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783704706 I have worked with both an ENP and ANP through placements. They play an important role in supporting doctors e.g. they can see patients with minor injuries and discharge autonomously which means resources should be less stretched. Having looked at a job description for an ENP it would seem there are no extra qualifications required for the role other than being on the NMC register and relevant experience. However, the job description goes on to state that the role involves prescribing "within the scope of practice"...this is slightly contradictory as this involves a prescribing degree yet the role doesn't specify extra qualifications are required? The pay band for these roles in Band 7. I would say this is fair although I would also argue that it should be raised to Band 8 which is equivalent to a matron. Both roles involve being a strong leader and having great responsibility for both staff and patients.]]> 2020-09-28 08:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783704706 I've worked with PENP's on placement, their role in that was to see and assess children presenting to CED with minor injuries, often limb injuries. I've not worked with any ANP's but my GP surgery seems to be staffed almost entirely by them, and in almost all cases I would rather my family and I be seen by them, as they seem much more able to search and find the root cause of a problem, and address that. https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783764802 Scott]]> 2020-09-28 08:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783764802 Thanks for your comments and insights, interesting thoughts ab1485 https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783790557 2020-09-28 08:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ab1485/1y6t98ypvy8f/wish/783790557
